NDIS day support groups face many challenges.
Over the years we have found many NDIS Day Support Groups struggle with inefficiencies in their back office and have trouble with accurate reporting. Often, they are not sure what they should be reporting and make it more complicated than it needs to be.
In addition, there can be downward pressure on funding and upward pressure on costs and hence, it’s difficult to maximise the use of their funding.
To support more people, you’ll need to identify your gaps and opportunities, and develop a plan to maximise the efficiencies while still delivering your services.
This may appear overwhelming at first, however, it need not be complicated.
When you know how to assess NDIS day support group organisations and obtain the data you need to develop a plan for sustainable growth, the process becomes invigorating.
Conducting an NDIS Organisational Assessment
First, you’ll need to review all your critical finance and operational areas. This means assessing your key drivers, your systems, your team, your culture, your productivity, your capacity, your cash flow, your risk and your opportunities.
With the collated data, you’ll be able to use your key drivers and unit costs to determine your budgeting requirements and cash flow forecasts.
Next, is business scenario modelling, which will help you determine the best decisions to make, so you can achieve the goals you have set for the future.
In the process of change, you may decide to make changes to your back-office procedures, implement software to improve efficiency, adjust job descriptions and redefine roles of management.
Critical things to consider are, how you can identify new revenue opportunities, and how you can monitor your operations for quality assurance and continuous improvement.
There is quite a bit to be done to grow your business to a level that supports more people than you do today.
So, if you want the capacity, engage an NDIS business transformation specialist to assist with capacity.
